Managing Requisitions Using the Fluid User Interface

The My Requisitions feature provides you with the ability to review, edit, approve, or cancel requisitions. You can view requisitions in any status. You can only edit active requisitions that have not been sourced and do not have a status of Complete, or Canceled.

After you dispatch a requisition on a purchase order, the goods are received and the supplier is paid. The Requisition Reconciliation process (PO_REQRCON) then identifies the requisition status as Complete. .

This section discusses how to manage requisitions, view requisition details, distribution and chartfields details, value added tax (VAT) details for distributions, edit requisitions, and cancel or reopen requisitions.
